This section will focus on fishing gear meant for anglers who have moved beyond the basics of fishing and will need the gear to match their experience level. At this stage, fishalots have a solid understanding of fundamental techniques and concepts but are still developing advanced skills and expanding their knowledge. Intermediate anglers are no longer relying on trial and error as much—they’ve gained confidence through experience. However, they are still learning and eager to refine advanced techniques, explore new styles of fishing (e.g., surf fishing, kayak fishing, exploring as many new bodies of water as possible), and target more challenging fish species.
This stage is about growth and exploration and while still budget-conscious, these fishalots will be interested in investing in more specialized gear, such as finesse rods, high-performance reels, and more technique specific lures.
